When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But for Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems. The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, leading him to the gates of the nation's royal academy - a whole world of secrets in itself.
But this is only the beginning of his discoveries. Something is stirring in the land, something more ominous than the rising threat of hostile nations. Fearful travelers whisper of an ancient power breathing over Thirna, changing it, waking it. In the very heart of these stirrings, Aedan encounters that which defies belief, leaving him speechless with terror - and wonder.

AMAZING (Because caps makes it true)
By Amazon Customer
This book is amazing. In order to get the most from this review, you need a base of what kinds of books I enjoy. I love Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive is my favorite series currently), The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss, and The Gentleman Bastards by Scott Lynch to name a few.
Now on to why you are here. This book has many elements that I have been looking for. Too many fantasy authors attribute an all powerful character to an interesting one. Within 50 pages, the author has the character besting 5 other trained individuals and by the end of the series, they might as well be facing the army by themselves. Another problem is creating intensity. How do you have down time when an army is invading your land or something troubling is happening? It is hard on the reader to stay in a consistent stressful time. More for the sake that we start rolling our eyes and say "Of COURSE that would happen now".
This book does not have those issues. The reader ages with the main character. The initial thoughts from the character are a mixture of immature and insightful. This is the delicate balance of writing a 13 year old character. You have to write them including things that they would do at that age, yet still be interesting and believable. This book stays true to it's character as he ages. He has flaws and moments in the book where you laugh and cringe for him. For all those interested, the female characters in this book are well-written as well. They aren't in need of saving and aren't a guy in a woman's body.
In short, this book has as realistic characters as a fantasy book can come with page turning intensity mixed with laugh out loud moments. I believe the author said it took 10 years to write this book (with a job on the side) and you can tell he put it to good use. I am so excited for the next 3 in the series.

Good for all readers, awesome new coming-of-age fantasy
By John
I was amazed by this new fantasy coming-of-age novel, which exceeded all of my expectations. The book is HUGE, but I read the whole thing almost non-stop in two days, constantly intrigued by the mysteries of the created world and life of the main character and supporting characters. The story is told entirely from the main character's point of view, which I really enjoyed, as the constantly switching perspectives of most new fantasy works often annoy me. Although the main character is a young teenager for the whole story, his occasionally childish perspective makes me think of that age more with nostalgia than annoyance at the MC's immaturity (which usually happens in books with young MCs). All of the characters are realistic in their actions and motivations, and, although there is typically a clear line between the good guys and bad guys, no character is perfect and struggles with various faults and temptations. The book even addresses on more serious topics such as abuse, cultural intolerance, and religion, though never in a way that feels preachy or overdone (more in the way of addressing serious topics that are real and need to be addressed in the life of the main character). The main character (though young) has enough faults to be relatable but enough strengths to be admired and someone I would like to be (an important and difficult balance that many books have a difficult time maintaining). Additionally, you get a TON of reading material for a cheap price, with no discernible editing errors (very unexpected and amazing in an indie author). Also, despite handling some heavy topics, this book has content suitable for all ages of readers (no cursing, sex scenes, or gratuitous violence), although the writing style is in no way simplistic or dumbed-down for younger readers. When thinking of what the target audience of this book probably is, I realize that I can't imagine an age past 10 that I would not immensely enjoy this novel.
The only possible faults with this book that I can come up with are that it follows a very overdone fantasy trope (a gifted young boy's coming-of-age in an academy) and that the next books in the series are not out yet. Despite following an overdone theme, this book brings me back to why that theme is so popular, and in my opinion is second only to (if not even with) Rothfus' Kingkiller Chronicles, one of my all time favorites. Even following standard rules of this genre, everything feels very realistic for youths of that age (I especially liked the way the young romances were handled). This is also very much the first book in a series, and there are many potential mysteries and avenues for development of characters and the created world that are hinted at in this book but left to future books to encounter more thoroughly.
All in all, I LOVED this book, more than any I've read in years, and can't wait for the next in the series. I will soon be recommending this to both friends and enemies: friends to share in the enjoyment of this first book, and enemies to share the suffering of waiting for book 2.

A review for the more mature audience
By Andrew
First off, let me get this off my chest. This book read like a knock off of Anthony Ryan's Blood Song, but for a younger age. At the beginning I figured Jonathan Renshaw and Anthony Ryan had a shared imagination but as I read further, I started to doubt it. Sorry Jon, but this book reads like you tried to re-write Ryan's work; not so far as to call it plagiarism, but close enough to turn my stomach a bit. Anyways whatever you do, don't recreate his second two books. Tower Lord and Queen of Fire were terrible!
That said, the book, while not even close to the level of Anthony Ryan’s, was an enjoyable read. Written more for the younger crowd, some of the book read like the Hardy Boys or other young teen novels.
The biggest issues (no plot spoiler's this is purely a review of Renshaw's writing):
A: The clumsy way he developed Aedan and his relationship with his father was by far the biggest distractor from the book. I kept trying to guess what was going on without even coming close. It pulled me out of the story as I puzzled what I was reading and why. I put a spoiler at the very end of this review. I suggest first time readers go ahead and read it so as to clear some things up and clarify some of the events in the beginning of the book. I don't know why it was written this way but it made no sense.
B: Renshaw is a little naive and I had to ignore some of the author's concepts forced into the plot in contrast to the very world he was attempting to create; ie modern social issues and technology crammed into the wrong era; its fantasy, but even fantasy has its limits. Additionally, Renshaw's military tactical understandings need work. These parts weren't so bad that I had to force myself to read through them but they distracted from the story.
C: Renshaw relies a little too heavy on the forced narrative that a lot of writers get caught up in when the character is "training." A lot of sentences droned on about the training but there was little meat; it felt like gnawing on bones. This distracted away from the book and sometimes it felt like I was reading "Disney movie magic" where the lead character sings a song and is now transformed into a hero. And at other times I felt like I was reading a recipe rather than a story due to the monotony and laundry list of what they were "training" to do. If you read Anthony Ryan's Blood Song (mentioned above), you will understand where I'm coming from; there is a stark contrast between these two writers. Anthony Ryan got it right, if fact more than any other writer in my history of fantasy IMHO. When you read Blood Song, you didn’t read about the training, you experienced it and it was raw. Renshaw didn't get it wrong but he got it a lot less right. It was just words with little supporting emotion.
D: Renshaw's pacing was a little off. It was as if Renshaw was at odds with himself, on one hand creating the stereotypical fantasy young hero genius surrounded by clumsy old oafs and on the other, trying to maintain the reality and fragility of the 13yo.
E: Renshaw's foreshadowing and overall narration needs work. He continues to fall victim to the classic "narrator induced" foreshadowing where he tries to narrate suspense in to parts that usually doesn't need it. Additionally, there are times where the book (I want to say plot here, but there wasn't much of one; see the next comment) is progressed with force by the narrator/author and the reader just has to hit the "I believe" button and continue reading.
F: Such a slow and lumbering plot. Imagine you’re driving on vacation and stuck in traffic for 8 hours. That’s how the plot progressed. For more than half the book, or even the entire book depending on how critical you are, the main plot of the series is never presented, or understood. It felt like the entire book was an intro and book two will be the actual start of the series.
While I come off as critical, I did like the book. It didn't keep me up all night, but being in a fantasy book doldrums, it was an overall enjoyable read.
*******************PLOT SPOILER (ish)*******************
Aedan's dad is abusive and beats him and his mom, giving Aedan a complex. I don't know why it took so long to reveal this in the book.
